Description

2-(Octadec-9-Enyloxy)Ethanol is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate characterized by its long alkyl chain and terminal hydroxyl group. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile building block in advanced formulations. Industrial buyers in the personal care, agrochemical, and lubricant additive sectors need it to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a non-irritating emulsifier and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an additive to improve lubricity, corrosion inhibition, and emulsion stability.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softening agent, lubricant, and anti-static agent for synthetic fibers.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers to prevent settling and improve gloss.
• Industrial Cleaners: Enhances the degreasing and cleaning efficacy of formulations for hard surfaces.
